Hey, i'd been boring myself stupid grinding out professions, so after a break from the game im trying to get myself an enjoyable template to play.
basically my heart is set on some form of carbineer and squad leader, i am going to be a master sl, and ive decided to stick with the bounty carbines line for those amazing speed boosts, basically after picking up novice carbineer i have 41 skill pts left.
This amounts to roughly 2 full lines and one line with 3 boxes of carbineer.
Basically, which boxes should i pick to be as effective as i can be?
Most of the specials seem really nice for carbineer (and appear to be working as apposed to other proffessions)
with just master sl/ bh carb 4 my carbine accuracy is 115 and speed 85, is it worth investing much more in these parts of the tree? as i feel very close to the 1 second cap for speed with most specials and my miss rate isnt too bad at all, especially when not using area/cone attacks.
And does scatter shot work like the fencers scatter stab hitting all 3 pools at once?
So any advice on which would be most beneficial would be great.
Oh and i just noticed this, look in your address bar, why is carbineer spelt wrong?

I reckon that template has enough speed and accuarcy to be effective, so just pick whatever specails you like the look of. Burstshot is nice. Crippling hits hard. I like scatter, and a decent action shot too. I think the BH KD shots are better, but the area KD from specials is nice.
Have a look at the stickies, they have all the shots in em and are the best stickies of any proffession boards here.

At 1-x-x-x you have +90 speed, good enough to fire any BH or Carb special at the speed cap with a weapon speed of 4.0 or less. Crippleshot is highly regarded on this board (I do not have it yet) so head to at leas 1-3-x-x. Counterattack has some issues, I dodge more with the +25 dodgeI have than with the +60 counterattack I currently have, but I do counterattack about 1 in 3 hits. Like the poster above said read up on the specials and pick and choose what you want with the skill points left. If you aren't interested inthe AOE KD then the + accuracy while moving most likely will not give you that much of a boost with the accuracy you will have with BH carbs and at least x-3-x-x from carbineer.
Might want to try 1-3-4-2, gives you the speed cap, crippleshot, +145 accuracy, counterattack (I still have hope that it will be made as good as dodge), and chargeshot for the best KD animation in the game.

Much better to go 1432 than 1342 
Accuracy doesn't cap and Counterattack is only half-way decent at Master Carbineer, so get Mitigation Level 2 and be done with Counterinsurgency.
And I would be tempted to go 3430 if it was me as the Ideal Carbine Speed is about +92 or +93 to use those uber damage sliced Lasers.

thanks for the input guys, im going to be mastering carbineer first then dropping down to whatever suits as i master squad leader, so ill play about with the different specials and see what suits me in different situations and go from there.
